Default first accident.

well today i was in my first minor accident, the insurance will tell us who was at fault, but i believe I had the right of way. The other guy was pissed of, he just got his insurance again because he was involved in 3 accidents in 2011. well anyways here is the aftermath, my truck didnt suffer a lot. what do you guys think, I am just pissed off that the lift kit is sort of bent and my insurance will not cover that. By the looks of it I will be needing to replace the Upper bumper, rim, valence,bumper, lower valence tie rod, bushings and some other minor stuff. As for the side fender, that is okay. Do guys think it would be wise to replace the lower control arm?

thankfully no one was hurt.



do you guys think it would be a good idea to replace the lower control arm?



and here is the damage my truck did to the car. the car spilled all the anti freeze i believe and both front tires were flat out of place.

HAHA when I saw the damage to your truck I was thinking this was just a minor fender bender... Then I saw the other guys car!
As for replacing your LCA I would take it to a privately owned car shop or a specialist offroad shop and see what they recommend. From the looks of it though I'd say its alright.

yea, the biggest problem i have is just the tie rod, and I need to make sure the steering pump is still ok. Other than that the truck is driveable, but i wouldnt recommend it also the rim looks as if it has a little curb rash =(

It was a 4 way intersection, couldnt file a police report because it was on a shopping area. So this 4 way intersection only has one stop on one of the four corners and it was on the opposite side in front of him. I was going west and he was going south. He claims he didnt see my big *** shiny truck, and it was at maybe 15mph tops.
